- 2–8°C refrigeration, amber vial, no light exposure
- 95–98%
- 85–90%
- Slow deamidation, minimal hydrolysis
- Gold standard—use this for all reconstituted peptides
- 2–8°C refrigeration, clear vial, ambient light during draws
- 88–92%
- 70–78%
- Oxidation of methionine/cysteine residues
- Acceptable short-term but wrap vial in foil to prevent oxidation
- Room temperature (20–25°C), amber vial
- 60–75%
- 40–55%
- Rapid hydrolysis, aggregation
- Unacceptable—single overnight lapse can cost 20% potency
- Room temperature (20–25°C), clear vial, light exposure
- 50–65%
- 30–45%
- Combined hydrolysis and oxidation
- Catastrophic—avoid at all costs
- Frozen (−20°C), single freeze-thaw
- 90–95%
- 80–88%
- Ice crystal shearing, partial aggregation
- Use only for single-use aliquots—never freeze multi-dose vials
- Frozen (−20°C), three freeze-thaw cycles
- 55–70%
- Not viable
- Severe aggregation, structural denaturation
- Renders peptide nearly useless—never refreeze after thawing
- This table reflects published pharmaceutical stability data and internal testing across peptides including Ipamorelin, BPC-157, and TB-500. Storage conditions directly determine research outcome reproducibility—temperature control is the highest-leverage variable under researcher control.
